apache-task-to-take

The main idea behind this repo is to get a one stop page for all apache issues that you as a developer can contribute to.

Those who are curios to contribute to the open source community can now run this code to generate a simple html table with sort and search feature listing all the open ossues marked as beginners task or first task or similar label

Code flow:

1. Hit guthub api to find all repositories associated with Apache org

2. Read the config.properities file to filter out repositories based on users config where the user can provide

   1. repo language FILTER_REPO_LANGUAGE=java,python
   2. repos to be ignored IGNORE_REPO=sling
   3. repos interested in (key words) FILTER_REPO=
   4. issue labels in (key words). FILTER_LABEL=start,first,begin,contribution

   Note: Make sure to provide username:password in this config file as it is required to access git apis (to avoid rate limit)

3. Using velocity template we then generate the html file in resources
